Make These Thoughts Stop

You think about the assault, even when you don't want to. You may replay it over and over in your mind. When you don't expect it, something may remind you. This may be frightening, but it's normal.

You may find it helpful to talk about your thoughts and feelings with someone you trust. A counsellor who knows about sexual assault can help. As you begin to feel safe again, you will notice that you don't think about the assault as often.
